Presented is a nice array of cards from the popular 1960 Fleer Baseball Greats set, an array in relatively wide condition range that features all Hall of Famers save one. The listing of condition for each card is below; almost the entire group is off center or miscut. The unique color-coded set was the company’s follow-up effort after the charming 1959 Fleer Life of Ted Williams issue, going from a mainstream, nationally distributed set focusing on just one player (albeit the “Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived”) to one featuring primarily long-retired greats, almost all Hall of Famers. Here’s the breakdown (19): No. 7 Bender – Ex-Mt m/c, 8 Bresnahan – VG-Ex m/c, 10 Speaker – Excellent m/c, 16 Boudreau – VG m/c, 20 Collins – VG, 21 Maranville – Good o/c, 23 Barrow – Ex-Mt o/c, 24 Cochrane – Good o/c, 26 Feller – VG o/c, 29 Hartnett – Ex-Mt m/c, 30 Klein – Ex-Mt m/c, 42 Cobb – Good o/c, 43 Derringer – Good o/c, 46 Plank – Ex-Plus, 51 Vance – Ex-Mt o/c, 59 Grimes – VG m/c, 65 Heilmann – Ex o/c, 68 Newhouser – Ex-Mt o/c and 69 Hoyt – Ex-Mt o/c.
